And I was like, something is going on.
Turns out, um, we went out of town, came back and there was that musty smell.
If you come out back to your house and there's a musty smell, you got to call someone.
You got to start looking, looking at places, going under sinks, looking for moisture, um,
And sure enough, we found some mold actually growing under our dining room table.
Like that's how bad the issue at our home was.
Like the environment was so issued that actually started growing like where you could visibly see it.
Turns out mold activated Lyme disease, which I didn't even know I had.
And it activated it in my body and into my breast milk.
And I gave Lyme to my baby because it was activated.
And what's interesting is we actually did a test.
It showed that she had Lyme, but my two-year-old at the time did not.
So I was able, the point is I nursed my two-year-old for a year and a half and she never got Lyme because I didn't live in mold when I was nursing her.
So it's amazing what mold can do.
It can literally trigger things in your body and start dumping things into your milk as a protective mechanism.
Thankfully, I was able to get my nursling on herbal drops and get her in the sauna with me at like super, super low levels.
And she was Lyme-free in seven months.
My journey took a little bit longer to reverse, but mold's a beast.
We ended up moving.
We were actually renting, so it was kind of perfect.
